Read our privacy policy Friends may have become synonymous with New York City, where the sitcom’s action was set, but the show didn’t film in the Big Apple. Instead, shooting took place in a studio in California – a location where the cast reconvened to film the newly unveiled reunion special. Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, and Matthew Perry all went back to the show’s original soundstage at the Warner Bros studio lot in Burbank, California – where the iconic sitcom originally filmed for 10 seasons.
